((from AIM; will fix up later))
teh mau (11:22:29 PM): *tosses Nari at Rem*
teh mau (11:22:50 PM): ACK! Kitten after oreos! LOL
RosePhoenixWolf (11:25:15 PM): *Remus catches Nari & blushes furiously* Want me to bring him into the thread?
teh mau (11:25:37 PM): ehehe.. if you want, tho I'm not big on Gaia rp
RosePhoenixWolf (11:26:42 PM): Rp here? I'm new to IM RP but I could try.
teh mau (11:28:12 PM): hehe I'm used to rp'ing on here.
RosePhoenixWolf (11:29:09 PM): Remy needs his Nari luvins. I don't think he cares where anymore.
teh mau (11:29:31 PM): LOL! he can come visit Nari's home? she'd send Cai with an invite.
RosePhoenixWolf (11:30:05 PM): okies!
teh mau (11:30:30 PM): just hope he doesn't run into her grandparents.. XD lols they're all nuts
RosePhoenixWolf (11:31:11 PM): lol
teh mau (11:31:52 PM): they've been alive for a thousand years. I think nutiness is to be expected.
RosePhoenixWolf (11:34:24 PM): lol yeah. Got to give elders some slack I suppose. XD
teh mau (11:34:52 PM): they'd love rem
teh mau (11:34:56 PM): they're just.. a bit wacky
RosePhoenixWolf (11:35:19 PM): *giggles* I can imagine.
teh mau (11:35:25 PM):
RosePhoenixWolf (11:36:20 PM): shall I start? If you wanna RP.
teh mau (11:36:30 PM): please!
RosePhoenixWolf (11:39:24 PM): Remus looked at the invitation again. He had chosen to follow the directions instead of apparating to a place he did not know. He was anxious & quite nervous, truth be told. He had been surprised to see Cai; then glad; then worried. Remus sighed. He supposed he worried too much. With boldness he did not feel, Remus Lupin rang the bell at Nari's house.
teh mau (11:41:22 PM): [*is suddenly glad Noko isn't there.. or she'd squee and glomp him*]
Nari had been busy sweeping the temple courtyard when there was a knock at the door. Setting the broom to lean up against the wall, she darted over to the door and, spotting Cai hovering above the gate, grinned before shoving the door open. "Rem-chan!"
RosePhoenixWolf (11:43:42 PM): His eyes sparkle, thinking of how lovely she looks. The scholar bows lightly. "I... got your invitation." There is a flush that starts to grow under his fur. "Thank you."
teh mau (11:45:00 PM): "Good - I was worried Cai might get.. a little distracted." Grinning wider, she nudged the door open wider, encouraging him to come in. "Come in, please"
RosePhoenixWolf (11:49:15 PM): He permitted himself to smile. "As the lady wishes." He murmered, stepping inside. His eyes widened taking on the place. "My. This is quite... impressive." Remus offered lamely.
teh mau (11:51:12 PM): "My grandparents have worked hard on it." To her, it looked quite normal. Looking about, she tried to see it as he did, but it was difficult.
RosePhoenixWolf (11:55:10 PM): Remus smiled gently. "They have done a wonderful job. My home is much more, simple. Trelweny likes to cll it cozy. The magic door makes it much larger, though it takes up very little space in the woods where we live." That did not beging to describe his home, but he felt he should start somewhere. He wanted to nuzzle Nari, but in truth he was a bit afraid to do so in her home. Perhaps her Oni-chan would not approve such forwardness from a first time guest? Remus held back.
teh mau (11:56:48 PM): "Your home sounds.. interesting! A magical home? Suits you quite well." After shutting the gate behind him, Nari turned and nuzzled him. "Would you like to take a walk? Or head inside?"
RosePhoenixWolf (12:03:21 AM): "The Weasley twins enlisted my aid to make a version of the "Room of Requirement" after they watched Howl's Moving Castle with Trelweny one night." He shrugged, as if his assistance was nothing. Remus found himself nuzzling the winged beauty back before he had time to think about it. "Either sounds wonderful. I trust you know the best places to see."
teh mau (12:04:27 AM): "The gardens are the best place." With a grin she grabbed ahold of one edge of his robes and began trotting off towards her gardens. "We have a set of Weasely twins in our home too.. they're new, though, and haven't had a chance to make mischief."
RosePhoenixWolf (12:06:44 AM): Remus followed, quite startled at being dragged along. Then he groaned at Nari's mention of Weasleys. "At least I will be older than they, if they are new. Being younger than my tala brothers has caused me nothing but grief."
teh mau (12:08:10 AM): "Oh? They tease you for it?" She paused slightly before trotting onward. "Don't worry, the ones that live with my owner don't live with me."
RosePhoenixWolf (12:11:20 AM): "Yes, they do. Incesently."
The scholar blinked at that. "You don't live with your owner?" For some reason he had just assumed everyone lived with their human as he & the rest of the 'family' lived with Trelweny. "Do you visit her then?"
teh mau (12:12:16 AM): "Often enough.. It is easier for my siblings and myself to live here - there is much more room."
RosePhoenixWolf (12:15:24 AM): He nodded. Sometimes he could wish for more room in his home. Though normally, the quiet library was enough room for the solitary kitsu. He padded softly beside Nari, thinking.
teh mau (12:17:46 AM): It was a short walk to the gardens, and Nari let him keep his silence. At the entrance to the gardens, though, she turned and nudged him. "Do you like flowers, Remus?"
RosePhoenixWolf (12:21:31 AM): Remus tried not to jump at her nudge. He should be used to such contact by now. "Certainly. I have always appretiated the beauty of nature." and natural beauty such as yours he thought, surprising himself. Remus blushed furiously.
teh mau (12:23:48 AM): "Good. Then you'll love the gardens. <3" With a gentle tug, she stepped him into the gardens. They were more of the old-fashioned English variety than Oriental, with a fountain and benches in the center and flowers everywhere. Roses, ivy, almost every flower could be found in the gardens somewhere.
RosePhoenixWolf (12:28:53 AM): Remus breathed deeply, impressed & happy. "Trelweny would love this. Absolutely lovely." He glanced at his hostess. "Though not as lovely as you."
He blushed hotly. Now why had he gone & said that?
teh mau (12:30:39 AM): "You're welcome to enjoy it whenever you want." Whether she meant the flowers or her own looks that he so often praised, she left to question. But yet she flushed over his compliments, as she always did.. and always would
RosePhoenixWolf (12:37:07 AM): "I do." He responded, flushing harder -his thoughts more on Nari than the natural beauty around them. Totally embarrassed now, Remus ducked his head under his robes.
teh mau (12:46:48 AM): [aim no flash o.o; *beats it*]
RosePhoenixWolf (12:47:07 AM): ((lol))
teh mau (12:47:15 AM): That she couldn't avoid seeing.. even if she had tried to. "Is something wrong? o.o"
RosePhoenixWolf (12:50:47 AM): "Nothing." Remus responded, the sound muffled by his robes. He felt everybit the foolish schoolboy. No wonder he had never dated in his memory life. Even without being a werewolf he was still a clod where romance was concerned. "Let's keep walking. Why not show me your favorite spot in the garden?"
He totally did not think of his head still being in his robes when he suggested that.
teh mau (12:52:12 AM): Nari stifled a small laugh, before poking her nose into his robes. "I think it would be best for you to watch where you're walking, if we're to do that, ai." [ai in this case meaning more or less beloved. XD heh. he doesn't undestand it!]
RosePhoenixWolf (1:00:57 AM): ((*giggles* nope! Completely clueless on that one! ))
Seeing Nari's face in his robes, Remus felt more than his face warming. Daring, he licked her nose & moved his head back out of his robes. "You are correct as usual, Nari."
teh mau (1:02:16 AM): Her eyes widened and she blinked as he licked her nose. But it was ony for the most brief of moments - and then she licked him right back. "Of course."
RosePhoenixWolf (1:04:18 AM): She licked him back. He smiled in a silly way as a tingle ran through him. "Shall we? Now that I am able to watch where I walk?"
teh mau (1:08:37 AM): "It is nice to see you smile." With a grin, she rubbed her nose against his chin before grabbing him by the edge of the robe again. She paused briefly before pulling him to a far corner of the garden. There, there was a small bench and a fountain on the wall surrounded by ivy. The area itself was surrounded by the fragrance of wysteria and jasmine. "This.. is my favorite spot."
RosePhoenixWolf (1:15:09 AM): He was kind of in a daze as he walked. Remus really did not focus again until they stopped, though the scent of the wysteria & jasmine had touched him as they approached. He breathed in deeply, then looked around with an appretiative eye. "It's breathtaking." He breathed reverently.
He nuzzled her tentatively. "Shall we enjoy it?"
teh mau (1:16:33 AM): "If you wish it." She made her way to the bench in the corner, turning to grin at him before she settled down.
RosePhoenixWolf (1:21:11 AM): He followed her, trying to get his pulse back to normal after his thoughts had rolled around on all the wrong ways what he had suggested could have been taken. He paused a moment when her joined her, wondering if it was too bold to lay beside her as he normally would. Remus eyed the benhc warily, deciding that he would feel more comfortable on the gound before her --for gentlemanly reasons if nothing else.
That decided, he lay on the ground byt the bench -though he was as close to Nari as he could be in such a situation.
teh mau (1:22:55 AM): "Oh, now that defeats the purpose." Nari mock-pouted. The bench was generally one that would be called a "lover's" bench - one small enough for only two to sit on.
RosePhoenixWolf (1:27:18 AM): "eh?" Remus sputtered in bafflement, turning to see Nari's pout. His heart tugged painfully within him. not seeing the mocking in her pout. "I am sorry... I did not think..." He flushed as words failed him. "Of course I would rather sit with you. He rose a little faster than perhaps would be termed proper & went to join Nari on the lover's bench. "Your Oni-chan will not be upset?" The wizard queried, worry in his voice.
teh mau (1:31:44 AM): "Oh... don't torture yourself so.." She nudged his cheek with her nose before licking him and snuggling up to him completely. "It is called a lover's seat.. and my oni will not mind - he is not home."
RosePhoenixWolf (1:35:48 AM): Fire shot through him & he felt oddly naughty being with Nari at her home without a chaperone. Of course they were both adults, but that was not the point. He snuggled closer, draping his robes to that they slightly covered Nari as well & chuckled lightly. "I fear I will always find something to torture myself over, Lovely Nari."
teh mau (1:36:56 AM): "It really can't be that fun - always tormenting yourself over something."
RosePhoenixWolf (1:44:52 AM): "Not fun at all." He agreed, nuzzling her again.
teh mau (1:46:02 AM): "Then stop doing it" She nipped lightly on his ear, then purred lightly. "If it's not fun.."

Auto Response from RosePhoenixWolf (1:46:02 AM): I'm multi-tasking. Responses might be slow.
________________________________________
RosePhoenixWolf (1:50:16 AM): He shivered. Just from that little n**. Remus managed to go with his instincts & nibble softly back just under her ear. "Easier said than done..." he quoted into her hair softly, his own purr joining hers at a lower octave. "Although I think I could be distracted from such thoughts,"
Had someone spilled a bottle of Love potion #9 at the house in Bass'ken wood? It was starting to seem so.
teh mau (1:52:54 AM): "Ah. but would you let yourself give in to distractions?" Now she was just plain teasing him. She was, after all, smart enouh to know what Remus's line of thought would be. She did have an older brother, after all.
RosePhoenixWolf (2:00:14 AM): "I... I do not know. I have never been distracted enough before..." Then he caught her eye & saw that she seemed to know the turn of his thoughts. Remus re-buried his head in her hair, breathing in the smell of her mixed with the scent of flowers in the air. It made for a heady combination. "I think... yes,,," He practically whispered, a tiny fear seeping over him. He would know in a minute if he had overstepped his bounds. But he could not lie to her. No. Remus would not lie to Nari. He would lie to himself, but never to her.
teh mau (2:01:53 AM): "I hope so.. distractions can be most.. amusing <3" Purring more loudly, she nuzzled under his chin more.
RosePhoenixWolf (2:04:51 AM): His own purr rumbled forth with more strength at her touch. Remus nibbled lightly on her ear at its base within her hair. "So I have been told." he murmered gently, a slight huskyness seeping into his voice.
teh mau (2:05:16 AM): [uh-oh! I think it's a good thing no one's home! ]
teh mau (2:07:22 AM): Nari blinked, before sighing happily and returning the affections. For Remus to s how his affection this way was a large step for him.. and she wasn't going to push him any farther than he was comfortable with.
RosePhoenixWolf (2:08:48 AM): ((*snickers* You know he'll stop if he even thinks she's not receptive... I think he finally knows his heart though. ))
teh mau (2:09:25 AM): [of course that's Rem. she'd rather that than someone who DOES keep going despite her not being receptive.. XD]
RosePhoenixWolf (2:13:55 AM): He mrred as she returned his affections. He licked the fur just in front of her ear lovingly. "Nari..." he whispered gently, feelings surging through him. "I want to show you how I feel... but I fear I do not know how."
He growled softly, frustrated with himself. "Words fail me..."
teh mau (2:15:46 AM): "Words.. fail you? That is a terrible thing." Teasing him lightly, she rested her head on her front paws slighly. "There are way other than words.. but those are best saved for special times [or..relationships XD
RosePhoenixWolf (2:25:48 AM): Keeping his head where it was he nuzzled her ever so slightly. "And what, lovely Nari, is a special time?"
teh mau (2:26:20 AM): She flushed crimson. "A time between.. well.. lovers."
RosePhoenixWolf (2:29:34 AM): You, Me. Alone in a garden full of sights & scents too wonderous to describe, especially knowing I love you... his thoughts were broken by her words & he shivered at the coincidence. Moving his head he gently licked her face where she blushed. "Yes... that would be a good time." Remus agreed softly, his thoughts shouting tell her, you fool!
teh mau (2:31:27 AM): "But we are not.. " She was still slightly red, and she shifted her paws. "Lovers, that is. Thought if you wanted to.." [hehe gotta love nari XD]
RosePhoenixWolf (2:42:16 AM): ((yes, you do. ))
Remus' breathing quickened as he cught her softly spoken words. Just barely caught them. "Nari..." he whispered, his voice choking with emotion. "I... I am certain I love you Nari." There. He had said it.
"I would do anything for you..." He lay his head down where it was, waiting. "I try not to think of you, but you are always there. Nari... what would you have of me?"
teh mau (2:45:00 AM): She flushed, but was happy. "I think.. I have loved you for a long time, Remus.. [starting as a teen! XD] You are one of the few I have talked to.. and even fewer still that I enjoy being with."
RosePhoenixWolf (2:50:03 AM): Remus felt warm all over. She had nearly said as much once, when she had told him of Ember's feelings. But it meant something different when it was just the two of them. "I have spoken with many kitsu in my life... and so many people in my 'other life'... but none like you, Nari." Tentatively he wove his tails with hers as he had seen Chroma do & envied the pair. "And no one has made me feel as you make me feel." The slightest hint of huskiness returned to his voice.
teh mau (2:51:21 AM): "I am glad of that.. " She nipped on his ear more, lightly - not so much biting. [sleepy <3 and geez I bet you are too!]
RosePhoenixWolf (12:56:19 AM): Remus startled at the feel of her sharp teeth grazing his ear but quickly settled into something like... contentment?... at the way it made him feel. A happy, excited growl-purr sounded in his throat. "Nari, I..."
teh mau (12:57:25 AM): She paused briefly, murmuring a soft, "What?" before returning to what she had been doing. [niiiip.. hehe not painful tho]
RosePhoenixWolf (1:01:33 AM): "I'm not sure where this will lead. I never dared to dream..." he paused as a shudder went through his as one of her nips happened across an extremely sensitive part of his ear. "aaaah..."
teh mau (1:03:06 AM): "Never... not once?" She sat back, her eyes searching his face. It would be very much like him, but.. never?
RosePhoenixWolf (1:07:21 AM): "oh I had hopes from time to time. But I was so certain nothing could come of them that I would not permit myself to hold onto them." He gazed back into nari's eyes softly. "If I dreampt, I do not recall the dreaming."
teh mau (1:08:05 AM): "That takes all the fun out of it, you know :p But you don't have to dream anymore <3"
RosePhoenixWolf (1:17:13 AM): "You're like a dream, Nari." He touched his nose to hers. "I do not wish to push this dream away." Indeed, the scholar moved his body closer to hers & tighted the weave of their tails.
teh mau (1:17:52 AM): Nari nuzzled her head into his. "You won't."
RosePhoenixWolf (1:20:02 AM): He licked her muzzle tentatively. "I won't" Remus agreed, hardly aware of his use of the contraction.
teh mau (1:22:13 AM): Grinning, she batted gently at his nose. What had been late afternoon was fading into evening, but there was still some light in the gardents. [and moon!]
RosePhoenixWolf (1:24:51 AM): ((not too much moon I hope! LOL Full moon was the 9th anyway. ^_^))
He did not know what to do at that & blinked. Noting the setting of the sun he asked "How late am I welcome, Nari?"
teh mau (1:26:13 AM): [oh no, not full! just enough to give light full moon would be veeeery bad]
"You can stay until you're tired of me." Teasing, she turned to watch the sun as well. "Or do you have a curfew? "
RosePhoenixWolf (1:30:12 AM): Remus chuckled, brushing his cheek gently against hers. "I may never tire of you, you do realize." Then he laughed lightly. "I do hope I have no curfew, after all the times I spent the night at headquarters with you & Ember."
"You will tell me if I overstay my welcome, will you not? For otherwise I may never leave your side."
teh mau (1:36:27 AM): She shook her head. "You should know better - you'll never overstay your welcome with me. Nicodemus, perhaps.. but then he would rather I was the age of 5 forever." With a sigh, she made a slight face. Nic would have to get over her being all grown up.. someday. Although it was a guarantee that he would freak out when she had children. If she had children. [werewolf kitsu-babies o.O]
RosePhoenixWolf (1:42:11 AM): ((maybe it's not hereditary? ))
"As an older brother myself I cn understand where Nicodemus is coming from." He nuzzled gently near her ear, feeling the way her auburn hair flowed softly. "I would not wish Chroma to say a kit forever." Then Remus licked the crease where her ear and her head joined. "And I am very glad indeed that you are not a child, sweet Nari."
teh mau (1:44:20 AM): [would hope not! XD that'd be bad]
"Ahh, but if Nic could have his way, Nokomis and I would stay sweet and "innocent" forever." She chuckled lightly at the thought. "I am glad I did not meet you as a child, for then you might always have seen me that way.. "
RosePhoenixWolf (1:48:27 AM): "I do not see you as the juvenille I met, I do not think I would see you as a child had I met you then." He smiled gently as his heart thundered in his chest. "The day I saw you had grown into the lovely lady you are..." He flushed softly. "Well, even had I known you as a child I would not be able to deny what you have become."
teh mau (1:50:04 AM): "Then you are one of the few.. most can't get over knowing someone as a child.. " Stifling a small yawn, she leaned against him, nuzzling her face into his neck.
RosePhoenixWolf (1:52:26 AM): He placed his head over hers with a sigh of contentment. "You are tired." He licked gently at her ear. "Would you like to sleep?"
teh mau (1:53:58 AM): "It would be rude to fall asleep on you." He was a guest, after all.. and playing the good hostess was one of Nari's strongest "assets".
RosePhoenixWolf (1:55:14 AM): "And if I do not mind, sweet Nari?" he whispered into her ear.
teh mau (1:55:57 AM): "Then.." Her words stopped as she flushed crimson. "If you don't mind.. "
RosePhoenixWolf (2:02:14 AM): He nuzzled her lovingly. "We have slept side by side before. I see no reason other than angering your family that you should not sleep now if you are tired." A tiny yawn made its way from Remus' mouth. "Although I cannot guarantee I will not be joining you." He admitted his weekness ruefully.
teh mau (2:03:35 AM): "I would rather you sleep as well <3 Since you are tired." She glanced up at the sky, as much as possible with his head resting on hers. "It is a warm night, we should be fine."
RosePhoenixWolf (2:07:51 AM): Remus shifted his head slightly so they could both watch the growing night. "Then I likely shall, as the night grows." He let his teeth lightly brush as if niping the curve of Nari's ear. "Yes... we should be fine."
teh mau (2:09:48 AM): That sent a shiver through her. She'd never had anyone actually n** her ears - though she'd done it to him plenty.
RosePhoenixWolf (2:14:53 AM): When she shivered it sent a similar tremble through Remus. Curious, he nipped a little more playfully but extremely careful not to hurt her.
teh mau (2:16:23 AM): She squirmed lightly, another shiver running through her before she bumped the top of her head against him. In her current position, there really wasn't any way for her to retaliate.. or return the favor - depending on your view.
RosePhoenixWolf (2:20:13 AM): As Nari's head bumbed against his own Remus was suddenly aware that he was the one in control at the moment. The realization both terriefied & excited him. Ever so slowly he ran his tongue along the length of her ear rim & back, placing a tiny careful n** at each end.
teh mau (2:22:45 AM): [uh-oh! Rem is in control.. hmmmm]
Nari went completely still and squeaked lightly. Worry never entered her mind, she trusted him completely but still.. it was somewhat.. odd. [to not have control]
RosePhoenixWolf (2:24:26 AM): He nibbled a bit more, very tenderly. Then he paused to murmur gently in her ear. "My apologies... you were tired."
teh mau (2:26:08 AM): "I'm not complaining, am I?" Wiggling slightly, she managed to turn her head to the side - towards him.
RosePhoenixWolf (2:28:40 AM): He smiled, rubbing his maw against her neck, breathing in the scent of her. "I suppose you are not." He had to agree.
teh mau (2:30:33 AM): "You would know if otherwise.." Twisting her head further to the side, she nipped at his ear. With his head turned to the side, she managed to get ahold of it after some more wiggling.
RosePhoenixWolf (2:33:41 AM): "ahh..." he gasped softly as Nari seized his ear. so that is how it is. Remus chuckled, daring to nibbled lightly on her neck. His body began to thrum again.
teh mau (2:35:25 AM): [oh boy.. those two.. XD <3]
With a grin, Nari nipped along his ear. "It's only fair, that I get to get you back." [yes, only fair.. uhhhuh]
RosePhoenixWolf (2:38:10 AM): "Get me back?" He breathed throatily against her while moving to a spot on her neck beneath her ear. "My sweet Nari, I am still catching up."
teh mau (2:39:20 AM): Her squeak was much louder this time, but she purred. "Competing now?"
RosePhoenixWolf (2:44:49 AM): "No, love." His purr grew within him as he boldly nipped her neck -once... twice. "Only stating that if is to be fair I have some catching up to do."
"As for competing... well. How would we determine who won?
teh mau (2:46:12 AM): "Ahhh but it isn't a matter of who wins.. As long as the game is enjoyed by all." [*looks at clock... looks at you* hooow do you stay up so late? <3 lols]

RosePhoenixWolf (2:51:38 AM): ((*blinks* um... RP addiction? *sheepish* I dunno. I don't care for sleeping. )
"Ah... yes. That is the best kind of competing."
teh mau (2:52:11 AM): "Of course.. everyone wins.. and everyone has fun." [hehe XD I love my sleep *hugs her pillows*]
RosePhoenixWolf (2:57:31 AM): ((I don't care for my dreams... *nervous chuckle* ))
Remus nodded. For once he was finished with words he either wanted to sleep... or ot make the lovely female beside him shiver again. He grazed his teeth up her neck & long the curve of her ear & permitted himself to sigh happily before nipping her ear again.
teh mau (3:00:32 AM): [awww]
With a blink, Nari growled lightly before taking hold of his ear again. If he was going to continue "playing" - so was she. Reaching up for his ear again, she trailed her teeth up his ear lightly, grinning to herself.
RosePhoenixWolf (3:03:57 AM): He shuddered & released Nari's ear in surprise at the feeling coursing through him. Something like a moan formed & was given to expression.
teh mau (3:05:12 AM): Oh, she had found a weakness. Smile widening, she exploited it as much as possible.
RosePhoenixWolf (3:09:55 AM): His body tingled in ways Remus had not been aware he could even feel.His mind tried to keep him focused & he tried to n** at Nari's ear once more but only succeeding in grazing it slightly as he moaned low & soft against her.
teh mau (3:10:46 AM): [agh! kitten invasion!]
RosePhoenixWolf (3:11:11 AM): ((lol))
teh mau (3:13:13 AM): [she's on my shoulder, purring like a madman and trying to eat my hair XP]
The power being back in her hands made Nari much more bold, and she continued her way down his ear and across the side of his face, shifting from light nips to kisses [licking? XD kitsu oi] as she went. [agh.. kitty biting my face, ow!]
RosePhoenixWolf (3:20:09 AM): ((teehee))
Remus was helpless against her ministrations. How could one younger than he know so much more how to progress than he? His sigh was almost another moan. His breathing raced as he dipped his head once more to n** her ear. This time he succeeded & did a fraction more than lightly n**.
